some questions about our popcorn…

Do I have to have a microwave to use this?

Yes, you will need a microwave.

What makes popping corn pop?

Steam! The kernels contain moisture, when they are heated the moisture becomes steam and builds up pressure as the internal environment expands, eventually a small explosion occurs as they burst their shell and are popped – magic!

How do I prepare the popcorn for microwaving?

Check the use by date of the popcorn, which is printed in the booklet that accompanies your box.

2. Remove the outer plastic wrapper before putting the popcorn in the microwave.

3. Some microwaves contain a metal grill or trivet. If yours does then you’ll need to remove it before you cook the popcorn.

How should I put my popping corn in the microwave?

Always with the side saying ‘healthy popping corn’ facing down.

How long should I cook my popping corn for?

We recommend setting your microwave for two minutes but your popcorn could be ready from as little as 40 seconds.

The key is to stay by your microwave and listen for when popping slows to one every two seconds.

Don't rely on your microwave’s popcorn button as it may be too much for our little bags.

How should I open the popping corn once it's cooked?

Please open very carefully – both the corn and the steam will be HOT! Pull opposite corners of the bag diagonally away from each other and then tip the popped corn into a bowl to allow it to cool before you snack!

Some kernels haven't popped, are they edible?

It is perfectly normal for some of the kernels not to pop, please don’t eat them as they could damage your teeth and don’t taste very nice! Don’t try to re-heat the un-popped kernels or reuse the bag.

Can I get popping corn if I am on a nutrition plan?

Yes, they are being sent out in nibble and caloriecounter boxes.

Is this popping corn suitable for vegans, celiacs and dairy free diets?

Our foods are all packed in the same kitchen, so there may have been some cross-contamination between ingredients but the popcorn doesn’t contain anything that isn’t suitable for you.
